1/5 - What is a design sprint - A design sprint is a tried and true methodology for solving big problems through designing, prototyping, and user research and testing.

2/5 - History of Design Sprint - The design sprint methodology was developed at Google out of a need to build UX culture and design leadership across the organization. Core methodology is inspired by thinking and processes from IDEO, the Stanford dSchool et al.

3/5- Planning a Design Sprint - Preparing for a design sprint? here are things to note -
Write a brief
Gather a team
Create an agenda
Build Visuals
Compile User Research
Line up key presenters
Book an Ideal spot
Line up an Ice breaker
Collect supplies
Set expectations

4/5 Run a Sprint - a design sprint is what you make of it, and what you need to get out of it. Your sprint could last three days instead of five. It might devote just one morning to the Understand phase if participants already have a deep knowledge of the space and problem.

5/5- End the sprint with a mini celebration to help the team unwind after several days of intense effort. For more support for collaboration, brainstorming, and prototyping, invite Figma to your design sprint, too.

Use Figma as an online collaborative whiteboard; discover, design, prototype, iterate, and comment all in one tool; and get early feedback quickly with the Figma wireframing kit.
